Maybe Dale Allitt is mistaken- this is from a post i made in January which does not mention Monday`s. Riders signed with Polish league 1 and 2 are now allowed to ride for 3 other teams from 2 other previously. Translated article From the 2023 season, the Main Speedway Sport Commission will allow riders of the 1st Speedway League and the 2nd Speedway League to sign contracts not in two, but in three additional leagues. This means that each speedway rider will be able to race in a maximum of four different clubs. Why such a change? Zbigniew Fiałkowski, vice-chairman of GKSŻ, mentions two reasons. - This is a nod to speedway riders, but I want to make it clear that we do not force anyone to do anything. No player has to sign four contracts. We only give them this opportunity, and it's up to them whether they decide to use it - he emphasizes. The second issue is equally important, because it directly concerns the course of the games and the planning of matches in the 2023 season. - Due to the fact that we have expanded the number of leagues in which players can compete, we will gain a free Thursday for the Polish league. This will allow us to run the games even more efficiently this year - emphasizes Fiałkowski. The vice-chairman also explains how the “free Thursday” rule for the Polish league will work in practice. – If, for example, the match of the 1st Speedway League planned for Sunday does not take place, we will be able to postpone it, but not to the next Thursday, but to the next one. Of course, we must officially inform about this so that no one in foreign leagues is planning competitions at that time. All these changes are the result of an agreement that we managed to work out with representatives of other countries. In fact, everyone will benefit from it – sums up Fiałkowski.

It`s difficult to tell - this is the latest ISL calendar https://www.fim-moto.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Documents/2023/2023_International_Speedway_League_calendar_-_05.05.2023.pdf?t=1683636757 Monday`s do appear to be ACU priority. Monday May 15th- Jack Holder cannot be in 2 places at once. Riding for Lublin or Sheffield ????
